Baby Seewald is a Girl!

Jessa and Ben Seewald have welcomed their third child, and it's a girl! Ivy Jane Seewald was born at home on Sunday, May 26th, at 5:57pm, after a three-and-a-half-hour labor. She arrived 10 days before her due date weighing 7 lbs, 14 oz, and measuring 20.5 inches long. Us Weekly has the first photo.

Congratulations to the Seawald family! I just prayed this morning, Lord, let Jessa have her baby today and please let it be a girl. But she actually already had the baby 😮She is a fantastic mother to her son’s and she will be a wonderful mom to her daughter! One of the reasons I love the Duggar’s is because of the love that they have for children! Also the Bates! These two are amazing and Godly families! Thank you so much for the great news! You are amazing too Ellie!

When they announced that they were expecting baby number three, they said that they thought it'd be a boy because they have enough things for another boy but that they'd start over for a girl. I'm sure they are so excited for this new addition in their family.

I've noticed that when couples say "I think it is a boy" it generally means "I hope it is a boy." And vice versa. Jessa and Ben seem to like having a bunch of boys, and having a boy is more prestigious in their circles. But this little girl will be loved, I am sure.

I don't think they'll ever adopt. It gets harder and harder to adopt, the more kids you already have. Assuming they want a baby (and I bet they do), no birthmother will choose them if they have 3-4 other kids living in a two bedroom home.

A very long time ago Ben said that when he was a child or teenager he was dreaming that he will have 15 sons. So it's possible that they wanted another boy. But I'm sure they are thrilled to have a girl since it comes with bows, dresses, and they already have 2 boys. Spurgeon will be happy to have a little sister in addition to a little brother.

I was so surprised she had a girl! I didn't think she'd make it to her June due date, though; she looked ready to burst a week ago. Beautiful name they chose. Congratulations! I thought for sure they had another boy coming.

Congratulations on the birth of Ivy Jane. I didn’t think Jessa would go to her due date, the picture she posted last week looked like the baby was very close. So glad she was a Pettit little girl compared to the big boys she had previously. I love the name too, Ivy is just such a pretty name.

You know your right anon, Ivy is quite an English name, I know quite a few Ivy’s. Most English people do like their tea. I call my daughter Mrs pots the teapot as she drinks so much of it & she is only 21. She has always loved tea since tasting it as a 14 year old, she is quite particular too, it needs to either be twinnings English breakfast tea, or twinnings Earl Grey.

Couple of questions for Abbie~1. How do you keep your curly hair from losing it's definition overnight/how do you refresh/reactivate it in the morning?2. Is you hair frizz free? Also, if you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you would share you're hair care routine! Thank you so much!! Many blessings, Rachel

Rachel: I don't think Abbie is going to see your questions under this topic. It might be better to repeat them when the day's posting is about Abbie and John, since she's more likely to be reading the comments and questions there. I'm sure others would like to know, too.

Wow, Jessa probably was very happy that the labor was so short, and the baby is very decent size. Her babies are smaller and smaller, she probably corrected her diet. Though she was saying this pregnancy she had a bigger bump.

Thanks for leaving your comments! We answer as many of your questions as we can, but due to the number of comments we receive daily, we are unable to answer every one. Our aim is to post all points of view, but we do not post anything that is profane, insulting, derogatory, or in poor taste.
